The British Government’s Dangerous Family Planning Campaign Belittles the Family Unit and Insults Women and are the same Styles used Against Muslims

During the months of August and September 2018, the British Government approved a National Health Service (NHS) campaign aimed at educating the public on the risks of unwanted pregnancies and promoting the use of birth prevention measures. The posters were displayed in various public locations for every age group to see. One example of the posters aimed at women depicted a pair of black high-heeled shoes and lipstick next to a pink babies dummy with the message “Would you give up this (high heels and lipstick) for this (Baby dummy)”. Another poster aimed at men showed a games console next to another pink baby dummy with the same message. Many of the public have justifiably been offended by this campaign which has received much discussion on Social Media websites with comments complaining that the NHS trust's poster campaign is "out of touch" and "sexist" and that it conveyed a “reductive representation of child-free women 'verses' [sic] motherhood” and portrayed a “negative light into which they cast parenthood”  giving the impression that “babies are an undesirable burden”. In a new study, “Adolescent Pregnancy, Birth, and Abortion Rates Across Countries: Levels and Recent Trends,” by Gilda Sedgh teen pregnancy rates were documented among 15–19-year-olds and among 10–14-year-olds in all countries for which recent information could be obtained, as well as trends for the mid-1990s when available. The study relies on data from countries’ statistical reports and from the United Nations Statistics Division. It was found that in the Western world, teen pregnancy rate is still highest in the United States (57 per 1,000 15–19-year-olds), followed by New Zealand (51) and England and Wales (47). The problem with this misguided NHS campaign and how it is doomed to failure and deserves the rebuke of the public is that it fails to target the cause of the problem itself and uses the same low moral values to explain its message. On the one hand, it endorses the party-free mixing culture as something that is important for happiness with family life being the antithesis of this as a woman would lose all sense of being entertained in a family unit as she is trapped in motherhood (being married of course is not something that is even recognized as important). The female identity is objectified in a manner where she is pursuing physical attention through a certain provocative way of dressing which, in itself, is contradictory to the whole idea of protecting oneself from casual meaningless relationships which is the norm in the West. You cannot be free to do as you want and dress as you want and then also expect there to be no consequences for these actions, particularly when the alcohol and drug culture is normalized and millions of men and women exist daily in an animalistic state where they cannot even be in control or remember the many crime they commit against each other. The advertising mentions thousands of women who live their “freedoms’ only to be abandoned by the system that allows them to suffer as single mothers as there is no legal right for a man to take responsibility for the women and children that come from his hedonistic lifestyle and in many cases the minimalistic financial contribution is not guaranteed. There is also a completely distorted representation of reality that exploits the naivety of the youth as it fails to inform that all manner of diseases can be caught even if you follow the measures advised in the campaign. These diseases destroy lives of of not only the individual, but expose the unborn child to risk and often harm the innocent partners of the diseased who usually don’t know they have a life threatening contagious condition until it’s too late. The sickening inconsiderate life choices that people make are viewed from the self-centered perspective that serves only to preserve the control the elite have over society when everyone lives like farmyard animals self-harming themselves into confusion, so few are free to account the corrupt system ruling the society. The loss of the child’s right to know who their father is and the devastating psychological consequences that this can have are again not addressed and the man’s identity of being a juvenile delinquent treating life as one great game of pleasure is also endorsed. The culture of freedom without morals and being reckless, serving one’s own selfish desires, is the real cause of unwanted pregnancies in society and until these values are removed, there can be no real solution to the problem.

Managing unwanted pregnancies and single motherhood is indeed a continuing issue for not only the UK, a nation that clearly has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in the West, but is also a growing problem internationally with these aforementioned liberal values being promoted globally with a specific targeting of Muslim lands where family planning is used as a tool to undermine the identity of women and the family unit itself.

In order to understand how these issue are used as a dangerous colonialist tool against Muslims, we should appreciate the existing policies that are at work in our countries. Currently, the United Nations along with Non-Governmental Organizations are the main entities dictating specific value systems in a manner that would seem to be neutral and serve the best interests of female health and social stability, but they are far from culturally benign and are applied to directly undermine the Islamic social system and break up the strong family foundations that keep the next generation secure and well looked after.

One of the leading initiatives organizing cultural reprogramming in Muslim lands is the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) overseen by the UN itself. The official website of this cause describes the SDG’s as follows;

“On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit — officially came into force.  Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change”

In another one of its key documents entitled “A CONTEMPORARY VIEW OF ‘FAMILY’ IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)” it discussed the importance of the family and how this is the key to the very nature of society itself;

“The family is often a basic unit of production and the prime mechanism for coping with social, economic and political adversity. It is also the basis for care-giving relations between generations.”

With this understanding in mind, the UN agencies have recruited the leaders of the Muslim world to be allowed to run its programs against Muslims and hold them to account for not applying the social strategies that include the following parameters;

“A commitments to promote the cohesion of families cannot be seen in isolation from two critical elements of the SDGs: the realization of human rights of all; and the achievement of gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls In fact under the SDGs, States explicitly commit to ensuring universal access to family planning and the promotion of shared responsibility within the family”

From the 17 goals our leaders have adopted from the foreign agents in our lands family planning is clearly and agenda with all of the Western interpretations of women’s freedoms and liberal values that the West itself is suffering from. The aim is to export the very social ills and problems that affect their own nations to leave our Muslim communities without the male leadership and guardians role protecting the households, and have our youth destroyed with vice and diseases far from the path of dignity and allegiance to Allah (swt).

In that same document, the following points are made regarding family life norms that should be adopted.

> In international law, the protection of the family is intrinsically linked to the principle of equality and non-discrimination As agreed in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in the protection of children born out of wedlock, same-sex partners and single-parent families. In many countries, these different forms of families are now provided with legal recognition and protection. Human rights monitoring bodies are increasingly considering this evolution when interpreting human rights instruments.

These amendments allow for the modernist dialogue of Quran and Sunnah as something that is not fixed and is subject to interpretation and change giving non Islamic agents full control over our minds and systems.

>States must ensure that nobody in the family is discriminated against on any ground (including sex, age, health status, sexual orientation or gender identity) in their enjoyment of family-related rights (e.g., custody, inheritance and property rights).

Here the Islamic social laws and legal rights of families are specially targeting to be made obsolete with the promotion and legitimization of homosexuality as normal.

> As noted by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (UN CEDAW Committee), a substantive equality approach in respect to the economic dimensions of relations must address matters such as discrimination in education and employment, the compatibility of work requirements and family needs, and the impact of gender stereotypes and gender roles on women’s economic capacity.

The emphasis on getting women into the workplace to destroy the family unit is hypocritical as the UN takes no action on those nations that persecute Muslim women for wearing Islamic dress and are therefore barred from education and work due to their identity as sincere practicing religious women. They are not seen as strong or empowered for exercising their right to independent thought, rather, they are punished for not following the other women in the social norms of having body insecurities and the oppression of being judged on how you look not who you are. Also the legalization of prostitution is encouraged as it pertains to the right of women to seek self-employment and earn their own monetary independence! This is a clear example of how UN laws are used selectively for colonial purposes and not for any real interests of women. Why don’t the UN and IMF agree on cancelling third world debt and the choke hold of capitalist policies that relies exploiting local resources and forced slave/child labour as the cure for women’s poverty and their need to become migrant workers leaving their own children without mothers.

> Under the CRC, preventing family separation and preserving family unity are important components of the child protection system. In this regard, ‘family’ should be understood in a broad sense, including biological, adoptive or foster parents or, where applicable, members of the extended family or community as provided for by local custom……cases involving the care and custody of minors, the determination of the child’s best interests cannot be based on speculation, assumptions or stereotypes regarding the parents’ lifestyles or on traditional concepts of family. The assessment should be based on specific parental behaviours and their impact on the child’s well-being.
